Which media did you use to install Mageia, and which desktop environment are you using? Do you use net_applet or NetworkManager?
And at least provide the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep -i -e net -e broad


[almusalimalmusalimah]

i used

MAGEIA4-x64-DVD + NONEFREE

and i am using KDE and net_applet

Code: Select all

lspcidrake -v | grep -i -e net -e broad
bcma            : Broadcom Corporation|BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [NETWORK_OTHER] (vendor:14e4 device:4365 subv:1028 subd:0016) (rev: 01)

According to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri ... ed_devices your device is not supported by the free b43 driver, only by the proprietary wl driver. You probably need to blacklist b43, bcma and ssb and then install and load broadcom-wl driver. Also see http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Dri ... en_drivers

so how to make mageia find broadcam 43142 driver ?

[nox77]

how to blacklist b43, bcma and ssb and then install and load broadcom-wl driver.

[doktor5000]

That is only explained on the old website, see
http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/e ... en_drivers

As root, do the following:

Code: Select all

echo -e "blacklist b43\nblacklist bcma\nblacklist ssb\n" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-mga.conf

Then reboot and try again.

thanks @doktor5000

but unfortunately couldn't solve 😭 😢

i did what you said it
and when i choose network configuration then wireless it give me only one option : use a windows driver (with ndiswapper)
i'm really so sorry

[nox77]

when i do

Code: Select all

modprobe wl

it give me that

Code: Select all

modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found.

[doktor5000]

It's contained in the package dkms-broadcom-wl or the binary version is contained in broadcom-wl-kernel-xx
and it should automatically get installed if you run harddrake via MCC: http://doc.mageia.org/mcc/5/en/content/harddrake2.html

Mageia 2 is long EOL - please use a current Mageia release. And please do not hijack other people's thread, open a separate one for your issue.
